PhD studentship

PhD Studentship at the University of Salford, United Kingdom in Modelling Dialogue Understandability in Media Using Listener Types and AI . This fully funded doctoral project investigates why dialogue in film, television, and streaming media can be difficult to understand even when it is audible. The research moves beyond traditional speech intelligibility measures to focus on dialogue understandability —how well listeners comprehend narrative content without excessive effort. The project combin...

MPhil/PhD studentship at the University of Derby in the College of Science and Engineering, focused on physics-informed vibration-based structural health monitoring of wheel-rail contact defects . This project sits at the intersection of mechanical engineering , railway engineering , dynamics , vibration analysis , signal processing , numerical modelling , and machine learning . The research will investigate how vibration measurements and physics-informed machine learning (PIML) can detect and a...
